Nice pics Jetzen.
For about 6 months out the year I breed all my own mice for my collection. I prefer to feed f/t to all my snakes. In my experience, if I feed a warm fresh killed or live some snakes have gotten a preference for mice like that and refused f/t. I basically used live or f/k for ones that want to burmate or that aren't feeding well. I once was culling many of my mice on time and feeding fresh killed and even one of my cornsnakes all the sudden refused f/t, which was very odd for this corns feeding history, and would only take f/t after I warmed it up in hot water for the longest time after that.

This is not a post saying feeding live or f/k mice to snakes is bad or wrong, nor do I disagree with ppl doing it at all.

My question for you Jetzen............
Have you ever experienced anything like what I stated above where all the sudden after a live or fresh killed feedings the snakes get finicky and then show a preference towards only eating live or fresh killed?

YES! i know what you mean and i think FT is the best way to go. Those 03's are spoilt rotten, they never did well on FT's so they got put on live and now they would rather starve than eat a FT. My 04's are a another story, they are FT pigs and i'm glad about that.
here's a 04'

I like that Thayeri you have Jetzen. Thin markings on that background color. A good looking king.
